Windows 7: Help Setting up Graphic Design/ Gaming Combo... on a budget

OK I have the following hardware,I am wanting to make the best setup I can. I retrieved this information with Aida64, but I plan to start from scratch, and I am not married to anything except the Software, listed below for design courses. And also I usually keep 1 game on my comp. just to play once in a while if I get fed up with school. Usually along the lines of Assassins Creed, or similar.

If anyone could help me I just need to know the best setup available to me. I back up my computer often, and since its just my school comp, I don't worry about drive failure as much. OK here is what I have to work with.

CPU Type DualCore AMD A6-5400K, 4300 MHz (43 x 100)

I am currently trying to set the 500 gig HD's up as raid0 and steadily receiving BSOD whenever I enable the RAID in BIOS. So I am ready for a clean install.
